6,8-Dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane skeleton (6,8-DOBCO) is a very common structural motif in many biologically active natural products. This synopsis surveys various approaches used to access the 6,8-DOBCO framework present in natural products and summarizes total syntheses of 6,8-DOBCO-containing psoracorylifol B, ent-psoracorylifol C, didemniserinolipid B, and attenol B from our laboratory and others.
